Knowledge Exchange Tables

CSI will be selecting approximately 50-55 Specifiers, Architects and other 

design professionals and product selection influencers from across the

country to attend the January 2025 Master Specifiers Retreat. Participating

with a Knowledge Exchange Table gets you 14-16 thirty minute one-on-one 

meetings with these professionals you match with based on mutual interest,

in addition to the excellent networking opportunities at meals,

receptions, etc.  

​

• Architects and Specifiers apply to attend, and you help choose who is invited. Then
  when the top ranked applicants are invited, you get to rank them again to 
  indicate who you want to meet with, the Architects/Specifiers do the same, 
  and meeting schedules are created based on that feedback.

• You receive 14 to 16 dedicated 30-minute meetings based on mutual interest

• The small event size (110-120 guests) ensures that you will meet every
  attendee. Networking receptions and dining events are designed for everyone
  to mix and mingle in a friendly and low-stress environment.

​

Table with one attendee: $10,500
Additional registrations: $4,500
